BEIRUT — An eye doctor in Lebanon said he has treated some 40 to 50 people with serious injuries, including some who lost both eyes, after a wave of communication device explosions targeted members of the militant group Hezbollah this week, killing dozens.
“We’ve never seen that much cases of patients and casualties that have been losing their eyes because of explosions,” Dr. Elias Warrak told NBC News.
Warrak said he has been running between several different hospitals to tend to the injured.
“This is the first time that I had to take out that much eyes in a couple of days,” he said.
“As a human being, definitely, it is devastating.
